Clergymen dance so awkwardly (7)

I believe the answer is:

deacons

'clergymen' is the definition.
(deacon is a kind of clergyman)

'dance so awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'dance'+'so'='danceso'
'danceso' anagrammed gives 'DEACONS'.

(Another definition for deacons that I've seen is " They rank just below priests".)
